In the Olympic 100 meter dash, his prize pupil Ben Johnson-whom Francis had discoved as a shy, frail adolescent eleven years earlier-leaped out of the starting blocks and blew away a brilliant group of sprinters that included Carl Lewis. But two days later, in a shocking announcement, the International Olympic Committee stripped Johnson of his gold medal because he tested positive for a banned anabolic steroid. Was Ben Johnson the exception?" The 1990 "Speed Trap" (Ben Johnson) 1st edition hardcover book is in MINT condition. Price $15. US plus postage
